In 1964 congress recognized bourbon as "america’s native spirit" and set guidelines to protect it. however, we hold ourselves to even higher standards. the standards booker noe set when he fathered the small batch movement:bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.?for us, it's a propriety, pre-prohibition-style blend.bourbon must be aged in new, charred-oak barrels.?for us, it's the highest level char possible to get the biggest flavors possible.bourbon must be distilled to no more than 160 proof. it can't go in the barrel at more than 125 proof, and now it's typically bottled at a post-prohibition standard of 80 proof.?we do things like they used to and bottle at an honest 100 proof.bourbon has no minimum aging period. some whiskey is aged as little as 3 months and sold as bourbon! and some have added coloring.?not a chance. we're a straight bourbon. see below.straight bourbon must be aged at least 2 years and doesn't have anything added (e.g. coloring, flavoring or other spirits). the age stated on its label must be the age of the youngest whiskey in the bottle.?we only make straight bourbon in small batches. each barrel blended to make knob creek has spent 9 years in clermont, ky.

Family Tradition is the bedrock of our company, we feel it is the strongest foundation that anything can be built on.

We do things a little differently around here – and that’s what gives jack daniel’s its distinctive character. we charcoal mellow our whiskey drop by drop, then let it age in our own handcrafted barrels. and we don’t follow a calendar. our tennessee sippin’ whiskey is ready only when our tasters say it is. we use our senses, just like jack daniel himself did. in fact, more than a century later, our tennessee whiskey is still judged the same way. by the way it looks. by the way it smells. and, of course, by the way it tastes.

Deep in the Appalachian Mountains, untouched by time, there still lies a tradition very much alive. Illegal spirits flowed from the deep hollows and rugged mountains, funding the moonshine trade and pursued by the Revenuers, “The Taxman”. Virginia Sweetwater Moonshine is the same recipe handed down thru the years, tried and delightful. It is the legal version, taxes paid, made by hand in small batches just for you, by  Appalachian Mountain Spirits, LLC. It is a traditional corn whisky made from locally grown corn. Our Moonshine is a clean tasting, extremely smooth spirit with a subtle corn flavor which is easy on the pallet and grows to a wonderful sweetness at the finish. There is no harsh aftertaste. The Shiners’ Gold is our 101 proof version of the same spirit. This is true, mountain made corn whiskey, enjoy it straight over ice or in your favorite mixed drink.  Please enjoy, drink responsibly, be safe and come visit the Virginia Sweetwater Distillery, in Marion, VA.

Warm, mellow and smooth on the tongue – everything a whisky should be.  We’ve created a whisky that holds its own with the best because we’ve combined master distilling with something extra.  And that extra is honor. During the time that owner, Scott “Mash” Schumaker, was launching the distillery, his brother, LTC William Sean Schumaker, passed away. The Colonel spent most of his career in Germany and the Mid-East, rose thru the ranks as a “Can Do, Failure is not an option” type of leader and beloved by his troops.  He was the final Commander of the 32nd Signal Corp Battalion, which, at the conclusion of the Iraq war, stood down and the colors put away until another time and conflict. In fact,  his troops while under his command would stop at the main gates in Iraq and shout “Sound the War Horns”, that became the battle moniker, esprit de corps, team work, leave no man behind. With-in one year after retirement, newly remarried and reconnecting with his brothers, after so much time away, the Colonel died. He was awarded two bronze stars and a litany of medals. War Horn Whiskey is a tribute to him and all military personnel, who have served with pride, honor and willingness to put themselves in harm’s way.  From the battlefields of Gettysburg, Normandy, the conflicts known by only those that where there in the Jungles, Deserts, and Mountains, when fear is replaced by doing, What Ever It takes, …..
